Dollfie Dream Archive

It's been quite a few year since I have in this Dollfie Dream hobby and I have been going back to Hong Kong to attend Dollism for the past two years. While it was fun going back to Hong Kong and all, meeting up with local comrades, and to aimlessly wander around the streets of Kowloon; however, after the trip from last year, I just felt I needed to step it up and go for the real thing in Japan!

Once again, we are within the two weeks window of Dolpa 29 and it's usually this time that Volks USA to update their website and hold their own announcement for the limited items. And Volks USA most certainly do not disappoint this time! Both Sword Art Online Dollfie Dream Asuna and Mahōtsukai no Yoru 魔法使いの夜 Alice Kuonji 久遠寺有珠 will be available for USA lottery!

It is of no doubt in my mind that Volks will continue to work with Type-Moon to dollfify their IP and bring more licensed dollfie dream characters based on their popular visual novel. This time is Alice Kuonji 久遠寺有珠 from Type Moon visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru 魔法使いの夜, the 2nd Dollfie Dream from the series after Aoko Aozaki.

Based on the information available at DD-blog, it appears that there will not be any DD Asuna available for pick up during the event, everyone will be directed to place pre-order at the event, quantity limited. It is also unclear if there will be any available for the After Event lottery. It's sad news for everyone and I think we need to voice our opinion to Volks and hopefully change their mind about this. As they have make DD Lucy available for pre-order in addition to the After Event, if enough of us take action and voice our concern to Volks, perhaps we can avoid the dooms day scenario.

As one of the original five dollfie dream I have picked to adopt (Fate was eventually bumped to sixth due to Rin arriving first), there is little doubt that I have always liked Fate, whether it was in the original series, A's or StrikerS.... Although instinctively, I have always preferred her StrikerS form, for reason I don't think I need to elaborate here www. But up until most recently, I don't think I have ever been truly satisfied with any of the StrikerS Fate figure. Then about a few weeks ago, I looked up Freeing's Fate Bunny ver. review by my long time comrade Tier and my immediate reaction after reading his review was to get my hands on the figure.

As I mentioned in my last blog post, this issue of Volks News 53 is packed with surprises, first we have the heroine from the popular light novel and anime adaptation Sword Art Online Asuna アスナ Dollfie Dream, then Type-Moon (a close partner with Volks by now) releasing the 2nd Dollfie Dream from their visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru 魔法使いの夜, Alice Kuonji 久遠寺有珠. Then on top of the new releases, Volks even offered some hints as to the next two dollfie dream for HTDP Nagoya 5!

I have been under the impression that Volks has become much more forthcoming regarding their dollfie dream project plan in the past and it looks like they are upping their game and even offer insights into what they are working on. From the look of this image scan, I can't help but to speculate that they may as well be working on two new iDOLM@STER Dollfie Dream for the next doll party.

We are now into the 4 weeks windows of the upcoming Dolpa 29 that is to be held in Tokyo Big Sight. The two new Dollfie Dream to be released at DP29 are the much anticipated Sword Art Online heroine Asuna Dollfie Dream and Alice Kuonji 久遠寺有珠 from Type Moon visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru 魔法使いの夜, the 2nd Dollfie Dream from the series.

Breaking news! Just as HTDP Osaka 7 After Event drawn to a close, news of the upcoming limited Dollfie Dream for Dolpa 29 has already surfaced! This time, it will be Asuna アスナ from the popular light novel, anime adaptation Sword Art Online! As some of you might recall, Volks has already teased about Asuna Dollfie Dream last year during dengeki 20th anniversary, it will be a matter of time before her actual release and next dolpa seems just about right!
